Abstract

Chicken is one of the most preferred protein sources for nonvegetarian consumers around the world. Due to the huge demand for quality chicken products, the processors and the suppliers need to maintain the optimum chicken quality during the supply chain. Therefore, this study was aimed to develop a suitable device to monitor chicken quality in supply chain. In the present study, a natural dye extracted from coleus blumei leaves (Plectranthus scutellarioides) has been used to develop a chicken quality monitoring sensor. This sensor has been tested for its color-changing ability by attaching inside the packet of fresh chicken at different storage temperatures viz., 4 ± 1, 10 ± 1, 15 ± 1, 25 ± 1, and 37 ± 1 °C. During the storage of chicken the changes in quality parameters (physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory attributes) were measured at regular intervals. The sensor showed a color change during the progress of the storage period and this was well in concurrence with the changes in the quality parameters of the chicken. The results showed the potentiality of the coleus blumei leaves dye-based sensor as a monitoring device to detect the quality of chicken during its storage at various temperatures.
